What's On

There's never a dull moment in Richmond...

There’s always something to do and somewhere to go in Richmond. With the unique Georgian Theatre Royal plus the award-winning independent cinema at The Station, drama and cinema are well taken care of, and then there’s the sparkling events programme at the Green Howards Museum, as well as Richmond Castle and the Richmondshire Museum.

Coming up this month it's Green Howards weekend on 9-10 May with the parade of veterans on Sunday, and then 23rd-25th May enjoy the spectacle of Richmond Meet and the Whit Fair in the Market Place. Everyone is welcome to join in the parade on Monday 25th May, with a vehicle float or walking float - or just line the streets to watch the parade go by from Nuns Close to the Market Place.

The end of May also brings the varied magnificence of the Swaledale Festival, with many events taking place in Richmond and across the Dales.

Summer Spot on the Wall

The Station

Summer Spot returns for 2026!

You may be familiar with our flagship event, A Spot on the Wall, which takes place for six weeks every winter, and is a hugely popular event with artists and visitors alike. We'll gather together a fantastic range of talented artists and photographers and craftspeople for our special Summer Spot on the Wall. Whether the artist is a first time exhibitor, or they have been exhibited for years, as a profession or hobby, their work sits side by side on the walls of the beautiful old railway building.

Artists pay for a 'spot', where they display their work alongside an array of other artists. As a piece of art is sold from the artist's spot, they replace it with another piece, and so the exhibition is constantly changing.

All artwork in the exhibition can be purchased from The Station Shop.

Summer Spot 2026 will run from Friday 5th - Tuesday 30th June and will be hosted exclusively in the Platform Gallery.
